I have to say, becoming a wellness coach has been one of the most rewarding opportunities that have happened in my life, whereas before I was in the urgent prehospital medical field, I now get to help people before they become emergent.
I can help with weight loss, nutrition, stress management, and changing habits to fit a healthy lifestyle. I love seeing people reach their goals, and then make new goals to set.
I myself am also slowly doing tiny habits to change lifestyle habits that I have acquired over the years that are not the best habits in the world. So even as Iām helping myself I get to help other people.
I think my favorite part is when I see a clients eyes light up when they have accomplished what they set out to do. The hardest part is when they donāt need me anymore, because they have been taught the tools to build themselves up without me, but it also makes me super proud.
Well, so much has happened since I last got to blog. I started my 300 hour teacher training. We became LMTās!
AND we became business owners! How exciting is that, or frightful? We opened our own massage establishment and it has a perfect place for yoga!
We have been so busy trying to get our permits in order and licenses together, we havenāt had time to breathe yet.
Our massage business is called Recharge! We all know our batteries are low already, itās time we recharge them back up. Iām trying to practice what I preach with keeping my body in shape and eating healthier.
I didnāt realize how much I missed you guys! Namaste š talk soon!
Whether we complain to our girlfriends or suffer in silence, about 1 in 4 of us has experienced that embarrassing Um, did I justā¦? moment while coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising. The main culprit: a weak pelvic floorāsomething a little yoga could help fix, according to new research. Women who participated in a yoga-therapy program for 6 weeks experienced a 70% decrease in their incontinence frequency.
Try these simple moves, making sure to relax the pelvic floor on each inhale and contract it on each exhale. āIt should feel like youāre doing Kegel exercises that are linked to your breath,ā says yoga teacher and physical therapist Bill Gallagher.
Malasana
Stand with feet about mat-width apart, toes off mat and heels on it. Bend knees and lower into a squat. Separate thighs slightly wider than torso and press elbows against inner thighs, bringing palms together in front of chest. Lengthen spine, moving tailbone toward floor and lifting crown of head toward ceiling. Breathe deeply. Hold 1 minute. Why it works: This pose lengthens the pelvic floor, allowing it to contract more forcefully.
Reclined Bound Angle
Lie on mat with knees bent and feet flat on floor. Bring soles of feet together and allow knees to fall out to sides. Rest arms by sides with palms up. Close eyes and breathe deeply. Hold 1 minute. Why it works: Your inner thighs help stabilize your pelvic floor. When theyāre flexible, youāre able to activate your pelvic muscles more deeply.
Legs Up the Wall
Sit on floor with 1 side of body grazing wall. Swing legs up against wall and slowly lower back and head to floor, keeping legs straight. Allow hands to fall out to sides, palms facing up. Close eyes and breathe deeply, relaxing into pose. Hold 1 minute. Why it works: āThe change in gravity puts a little pressure on your diaphragm, allowing you to breathe more deeply and to fully relax the pelvic muscles without any fear of spillage,ā Gallagher says.
Balasana
Kneel with knees mat-width apart and toes touching. Walk hands forward and lower torso between thighs, resting forehead and nose on mat. Extend arms and press palms into mat and hips toward heels. Close eyes and breathe deeply. Hold 1 minute. Why it works: āTo be strong, your pelvic floor also needs to be flexible,ā Gallagher says. āThis pose opens up your lower back, allowing your pelvic floor to expand and stretch with each inhale.ā
Yeah, Iām delving into the world of video making! Itās actually pretty fun, I wish I was a little more tech savvy to really have some editing fun! Any way here is my channel if you want to check it out?
I talked about trying to relax yesterday, for people like me itās especially difficult.
We were told āearly bird catches the wormā āa rolling rock gathers no mossā and my all time favorite lol āif you have time to lean, you have time to cleanā.
Now we know, most of us who canāt āchill outā or our day planners are maxed out, itās because being still makes us think.
Staying busy is often times a trauma response. Itās part of the avoidance aspect.
Yoga š§š¼āāļø has helped me tap into slowing down, meditation has helped me let the feelings or emotions come and go as needed.
There is a lot on my plate right now, unfortunately I put it there. Hopefully, I can scale down my next month, and Iām not talking about May lol!
